Relationship between the various Acceleration Settings

<skip this part to get to my actual question > Prusa support was no help at all.  I'm convinced they're hiring folks with little first-hand printing experience, if any experience at all.  They're simply entering my question and reading back default mandatory responses.  Incapable of answering anything but most basic of questions.  Alright... rant over.

I'm trying to understand the relationship between the various acceleration settings under Printer Settings/Machine Limits.  There are settings available for Max Accel X, Y, Z, and E; and then there are separate settings for Accel while extruding, retracting, and travel moves.  My understanding is you have to have Marlin 2 gcode flavor selected in order to take advantage of the Accel settings for Extruding, Retracting and Travel Moves.  My question is do the individual Max Accel values for X, Y, Z, and E override the Max Accel settings for Travel and Extruding?  

Need an understanding of what overrides what.  My assumption is that Max Accel X, Y, Z, and E override everything else.  For example, if I want to set Max Accel of travel moves to 2000, I need to have Max Accel X and Y set to minimum of 2000 as well.  

Another example same assumption... my accel settings under Print Settings/Speed tab can't exceed machine limit settings.  So if I want to set bridging accel setting to 1000, then my max accel settings under X, Y, E and max accel when extruding also need to be at least 1000.  

Does that all make sense?  I'm just trying to gain an understanding of what setting overrides the other, and more specifically the relation between individual max accel setting for X and Y vs. the settings for Extruding and Travel Moves when Marlin 2 gcode flavor is selected.
